By Pr John Muyizzi - Tewali Mbeera Nene

"Pastor," Waswa said, his voice dry as the soil. "I want to buy my way into God's favor. I have a few cows left. I have land. Tell me the price. Ndiwa oluwa. I will pay."

"Listen, children of God. You worry that following Christ will cost you too much. But I tell you today: Tewali Mbeera Nene. There is no price too big to pay for a love that already gave you everything. Give your heart. The rest is just gratitude." Following God is not about affording a high cost—it is about accepting a free gift. And when you truly understand that, no sacrifice you make for love will ever feel too great.

In the rolling green hills of Mpigi, where the morning mist clung to the banana plantations like a blessing, lived a wealthy landowner named Waswa. He was known for two things: his vast herd of Ankole cattle and his stubborn heart. Waswa believed in transactions. To him, God was a distant King who demanded a high price for entry into Heaven—a price Waswa thought he could afford. Tewali Mbeera Nene by Pr John Muyizzi

"Waswa," the pastor said softly, "you have been asking the wrong question. You keep asking, 'Mbeera ya ki?' — 'What is the price?' But God is not a market stall. You cannot bargain with the Creator."

He meant the loss of his pride, the time he could spend counting his cows, and the wealth he might have to give away. "Pastor," Waswa said, his voice dry as the soil

That night, Waswa gave away his last three cows to the widows of the village. He didn't do it to buy Heaven. He did it because, for the first time, he understood that love had no price tag.

Pastor John smiled and placed a hand on Waswa’s shoulder. "That is the good news, my brother. Tewali mbeera nene. There is no big price—because the price has already been paid. Not by you. Not by your cows. Not by your land. By the blood of the Lamb." I have land

Pastor John stood up, his face calm but his eyes sharp as a prophet’s. He looked at Waswa’s trembling hands, then at the empty sky outside.
